New video has been posted with a vantage from the front rows of the Trump campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio Saturday morning of the security incident that prompted Secret Service agents to rush on stage to protect leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The anti-Trump protester jumped the fence–
Then he stormed Trump on stage before he was tackled by Secret Service–
The video shows a man in a black shirt and pants leaping the barricade on stage right and rushing past two Secret Service agents. The man reached the back-center of the stage before being apprehended but not did not make it on stage.
As agents swarmed Trump on the stage other agents tackled the man to the ground away from the stage.
Previous TGP report on the incident.
UPDATE: The man who rushed the stage has been named and is being charged according to NBC News.
“The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Thomas Dimassimo, was charged with disorderly conduct and inducing panic — both misdemeanors, Chief Mike Etter of the Dayton Airport Police Department told NBC News.”
